Faster Overall? or Faster FSB?

[DaLurker]

Just curious.. right now my system's stable up to 225mhz FSB, and my CPU's stable up to 2.3 @ 1.65 (Think it does 2.37 @ 1.725 or 2.4 @ 1.75, but don't want to go so high in voltages). So I'm thinking, should I do

225 x 10 = 2250 Mhz
or
220 x 10.5 = 2310 Mhz?

Which would be faster?

At the same overall mhz and same ram timings, the higher front side bus will provide more bandwidth, but since your cpu speed is different, and I'm not too sure of your ram timings, the only thing you could do would be to try running some benchmarks, or games, but I don't think the real world performance would be that much different.

i think it'd really depend on the task. personally, i'd rather have the extra 60mhz cpu than the extra 5mhz fsb
